Financial Ombudsman PPI Claims Form

You don't need a lawyer or claims management company to make your claim for you. You can do it yourself with an easy to use PPI claim form that can be downloaded from the Financial Ombudsman site. On receipt of your form the bank/buildingsociety/other financial service provider has 8 weeks to respond to your claim. If they need further information from you they will ask for it. If you don't hear within 8 weeks then you can refer the matter to the ombudsman who will look into it for you.

The official financial ombudsman claims form can be downloaded here, whilst the ombudsman PPI factsheet is here. You do not have to contact the financial ombudsman for PPI claims but you can if you wish.

Claims for compensation are not just restricted to accident claims.

You may have a valid claim for PPI mis-selling, unfair bank charges or unfair mortgage redemption charges.
